In addition, raw eggs often contain pathogens, such as salmonella. Feeding raw eggs will eventually turn into toxins and may cause vitamin H deficiency. Eggs can be cooked before feeding. They contain high protein and other nutrients. Only raw egg whites contain avidin. If you are feeding raw eggs, use only the yolks, but you must still be careful of bacterial infections.
